APhA/NACDS Core Elements of An MTM Service Model ver. 2.0Medication Therapy Management in Pharmacy Practice: Core Elements of an MTM Service Model Version 2.0 is a document that focuses on the provision of MTM services in settings where patients or their caregivers can be actively involved in managing their medications. This service model was developed with the input of an advisory panel of pharmacy leaders representing diverse pharmacy practice settings. While adoption of this model is voluntary, it is important to note that this model is crafted to maximize both effectiveness and efficiency of MTM service delivery across pharmacy practice settings in an effort to improve continuity of care and patient outcomes. This document was adopted by a number of pharmacy organizations including AMCP.

AHRQ MTM Systematic ReviewThis report is based on research conducted by the Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) under contract to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ),Rockville, MD. The information in this report is intended to help health care decision makers—patients and clinicians, health system leaders, and policymakers, among others—make well informed decisions and thereby improve the quality of health care services. This report is not intended to be a substitute for the application of clinical judgment. Anyone who makes decisions concerning the provision of clinical care should consider this report in the same way as any medical reference and in conjunction with all other pertinent information, i.e., in the context of available resources and circumstances presented by individual patients.

Pharmacists' Patient Care Process The document released on May 29, 2014, is based on JCPP's vision that "Patients will achieve optimal health and medication outcomes when pharmacists are included as essential and accountable members of patient-centered health care teams." The document provides a five-step approach to the delivery of pharmacists' patient care services in any practice setting. Besides collaboration, communication and documentation, another key component includes interoperable information technology systems to facilitate efficient, effective communication among individuals involved in patient care.
